Not Even Good in Theory: Kid’s Batman Symbol Buzz Cut

byGreat White Snark

True story: in 8th grade, I tried to shave two stripes into my hair just above my ear. (Because Vanilla Ice, that’s why.) They ended up more “gaps” than “stripes,” and there was even a gash in one of the gaps where the electric razor had been pressed to my skull too hard(!).

My point is this: I suffered thanks to my own poor judgement. This kid suffered thanks to his parents’ poor judgment.

Because no little kid says, “Hey, you know what would be just dapper? A choppy mullet with a Batman symbol carved in the side.”

But “choppy mullet Batman shave” is why half the parents in Florida decided to get pregnant in the first place.

My Mom was actually really talented with a pair of clippers in the 80’s when the stripes were in style. She did the stripes for a while, and then she gave my brother, because he asked for it, batman on the sides of his head. She soon had a line of the neighborhood boys who wanted batman too. To defend them, they were older than this kid looks to be, Mom never had to draw a template on the kid with sharpie, and there were no mullets involved either. Just a bunch of kids in the 80’s with a totally rad hairstyle.
